Creating Freedom: The Lottery of Birth

　　THE LOTTERY OF BIRTH is the first in a four-part documentary series entitled 'Creating Freedom' exploring the relationship between freedom, power and control in Western democracies. The series draws together interviews with some of the world's leading intellectuals, journalists and activists to offer an alternative perspective on today's society and the future we're creating. We do not choose to exist, or the environment we grow up in. Our starting point in life is one of passive reliance on forces over which we have no control. THE LOTTERY OF BIRTH shows that from birth onwards our minds are a battleground of competing forces: familial, educational, cultural, and professional. The outcome of this battle not only determines who we become, but the society that we create. 　　译文(2): 《出生的彩票》是由四部分组成的系列纪录片《创造自由》的第一部，该系列纪录片探讨了西方民主国家中自由、权力和控制之间的关系。这个系列采访了一些世界知名的知识分子、记者和活动家，提供了一个关于当今社会和我们正在创造的未来的另一种视角。我们没有选择生存，也没有选择成长的环境。我们生活的起点是消极地依赖我们无法控制的力量。《出生的彩票》表明，从出生开始，我们的思想就是竞争力量的战场: 家庭、教育、文化和职业。这场战争的结果不仅决定了我们将成为什么样的人，还决定了我们将创造什么样的社会。 收起
